I had to go to the Ortho today. It wasn't very much fun. I hate going to the Ortho cause it always hurts my teeth!! Anyway while I was waiting for Duncan to be done with his appointment I sat and read my book. Thinks happened that left me speechless. When I got to gym we did conditioning and then Ilia had Taylor and Hailee do ballet since they're hurt and had me, Sadie, and Kendall do leap complex on Floor. It was actually really hard and tiring. I'd forgotten how much strength it takes to do leaps. When we were done with leaps complex we did tumbling complex except for we didn't do all of the tumbling stuff at the end. That was also equally hard. After Floor was Bars. Sadie and I went to strap bar first and did the same thing as yesterday. We then did those front tuck thingys. I'm getting a lot better at them!!! They're actually not that hard when you get the hang of it!! Soon we had to go to Beam and of course I did the same as yesterday: back handspring aerials and then leaps. But unexpectedly Ilia told me to do front tucks on the floor after a while and then he had me do it on the Beam with pads!! SCARY!! Ilia kept on telling me not to change what I was doing and to just keep on doing it like I was on the floor and eventually I did it good. We then stretched and Dad came and picked me up.
Now I'm going to write about how I feel about my book.
So first I should say that I finished Fablehaven. And things happened in it that I can't explain because you have to read it to know and because even if I could write about it I wouldn't know what to say. I feel like when I'm reading Fablehaven I become Kendra. I feel what she feels I see things the way she does and even when I stop reading it I still feel like her and now its more than ever. Even when I just think about it I'm Kendra again. I know that sounds weir, but yet I know its true. Now I have to stop writing because Dad wants me to go to bed.

State Weekend
3/29
Sorry I didn’t write Friday night or Saturday night! I just got so busy!! I might not be able to remember everything, but I’ll try the best I can to let you know what I did.
3/27
After I wrote on Friday I ate my food and then Lena called and said that she and Khyla would come and pick me and Mom up and take us to the Level 9 meet!! The girls did awesome!! Floor was first. Kendall did fall, but she still got a 8.45!! Taylor did amazing as usual! She got a 9.075!!! Go Taylor!! Their Vaults were also very good!! I’m so proud of them!! On Bars Taylor did awesome, but Kendall had a hard time because for some really weird reason – this never happens to her – she fell on her free hip and her dismount. Oh, Kendall! I think you need a hug!! After we talked to her for a while she stopped crying and we could sit there and have fun. Kendall stuck her Beam again!!! Taylor had a one fall, but she still got an 8.35!! I sat with them for awards and they all got awesome places! Kendall got 9th in the All Around and Taylor got 5th! We had to leave before they did Team Awards, but I think that they got 2nd place. We went to the store on the way back to the house and Mom got some food to make Chicken Spaghetti for lunch on Saturday. When we got back to the house I got in my PJs and went to bed….
Here’s the Lvl 9 scores:
Vault Bars Beam Floor AA
Kendall 8.85 7.40 8.80 8.45 33.50

3/28
When I woke up Saturday Mom told me that I had a half hour to get ready and then we had to leave for Duncan’s clogging competition. I did it though it was a little hard to eat and get everything ready in time, but I managed. When we got to the competition Duncan went and found his class and sat with them. While we were waiting Mom and I sat and watched the dances. After a little bit we went and found the clothes stands and stuff like that and we ended up getting me two shirts and we found this shirt that had ‘CLOG’ in bubble letters and in the ‘C’ it said ‘clog’ in lots of different styles, but the size that we found wouldn’t fit Duncan so we just kept looking and then I found one!! So now Duncan has that shirt and he’s been wearing it all weekend. Duncan and Alyssa did great!!! They were a little off of the music, but they still ended up getting a 1st place. They were both awesome in free style too! Duncan got 1st and I think Alyssa did too! When we were waiting for the scores to be posted Mom sat me down and did my hair. She had to redo it a lot because it felt to loose or she didn’t like how it looked or something and then when we got back to the house all of the elastics were popping so she had to do it yet again! After that I sat and read my book and then we had lunch and I read for a little after that, but then I got tired so I had a nap.
When I woke up from my nap I got ready for my meet and then pretty soon we were off!! We got to it early so I sat around for a little while and then it was time to start. After open stretch we did walk in and they gave each team a car that said the name of the gym on it and we all decided that we wanted to take it to the gym and hang it up!! Floor was first just like the Level 9s. I was 3rd so I had to warm up pretty fast. I felt like it was a pretty good routine and Ilia said he was happy with it so that was good. I wasn’t thinking I’d get any awesome score, but guess what!?!…9.2!!! Oh, yeah!!! Sadie did an awesome routine as well!! I stuck both of my Vaults, but Ilia said that I would have gotten a lot higher score if I had kept my legs tight in my round off, but I still got an 8.75 so YAY!! On Bars Sadie had a bad fall on her free hip and her dismount, but instead of just a normal fall it was where on her free hip she slipped as she was coming up and she did a flip onto her back and on her giant-giant-layout she did the first giant and when she was coming down to do the second one she pealed off the bar and did a very scary dismount to her back again. I didn’t know what to do to help her and she wouldn’t really talk when you tried to talk to her. ~sigh~ I did my Bar routine and apparently it was good cause I got a 8.7 so that’s good. On Beam I went crooked on my series in warm up and then when I went for it in my routine it was straight, but not all the way straight so even though I tried really hard to stick it I still fell. I stuck the rest of it though!! I thought that it was a good routine other than my fall, but I guess not cause I got a 7.95. Sadie on the other hand though didn’t even want to compete Beam after what happened on Bars and it ended up that she did the most amazing routine and got a 9.1!! I’m hoping that will give Sadie back some confidence she was losing on Beam.
When we were all done we sat down on the Floor and waited for awards to start. While we waited me and my friend Stephanie from GTC kept on switching where we would sit one minute I’d sit with the GTC girls and then the next she would sit with me and my friends. I did pretty good in the awards I mean its not like I’m doing this just for the awards, but sometimes it’s fun to be able to say that you won. Anyway I tied for 4th place on Vault, 6th on Bars, 10th on Beam, and…….1st on FLOOR!!!! YAY!!! I’m still overly happy about getting 1st on Floor. I’m not sure when I’ll get over that maybe never. I didn’t think that I had qualified for Regionals, but I did. Micaela, Paige, Abby, Hope, Hannah, and Kim also qualified. Hannah and Kim qualified for the Regional Team. I’m not really sure what that means, but it’s still cool!!!
When the awards were over I talked with Steph and she invited me to go swimming with her and her friends from GTC. I wanted to go, but Khyla had also invited me to go swimming with her and I didn’t want to leave Khy out so I invited her to come with Steph and me. Khyla ended up not going swimming at all because she had forgotten her goggles and didn’t want swim without them. I went swimming with Steph while my friends in my class all had a party together, without inviting me of course. I’m slightly bugged by that, but oh well. I had lots of fun with Steph, Madi, Frannie, Lauren, and some of the girls from Air Bound so whatever. When I got back to the house it was late so I went straight to bed.
Here’s the scores for Lvl 8:

3/29
When I woke up this morning I had to race to get all of my stuff packed so that we would leave at 11:00. I felt like I was a little rushed, but it ended up OK cause I got everything packed. When we stopped for gas on our way out of town I got a drink and a snack, which ended up lasting me the whole ride home!! I read my book at first, but then Mom wanted us to watch a movie called “Fist Full of Dollars” it was actually pretty good. It wasn’t the best and not very much happened, but it was good. When the movie was over the boys wanted to watch “Iron Man” and I didn’t really feel like watching another movie so I read my book for the rest of the ride and it went by really fast!!! When we got home I sat down and read more of my book, but then Mom made me go and unpack. When I was done I went and read my book some more. And now I’m almost done with it!!!
Sorry I didn’t write Friday night or Saturday night! I just got so busy!! I might not be able to remember everything, but I’ll try the best I can to let you know what I did.

I wrote these posts while I was in St. George, but I couldn’t upload them because we didn’t have internet access.
We’re in St. George!! We left yesterday at about 1:30 and got here at about 6:00ish. After we were sitting around for a while we went to go and get some food. We found a place that looked good, but the wait was about a half hour so we decided to go somewhere else. We ended up going to “Ruby Tuesday”. It was really really good! We had lots of laughs. When we got back to the house that we rented we all sat down and watched “Ferris Buhler’s Day Off”. It was soooooooo funny!! Bwahahaha! ~sigh~ After that I got ready to go to bed. I slept really well. The bed was so comfy and I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night at all! Normally when I’m not in my own bed I wake up a lot, but I didn’t!! When I woke up I ate some breakfast and then took a shower. It felt so good to get clean. When I got out Mom, Hunter, Duncan, and I all sat down and played “Uno”. I of course never got 1st place, but I did get 2nd a couple times though!! YAY!! Hunter, Duncan, and I were playing with Duncan’s remote control helicopter when Mom said that we all had to do our homework. I finished everything pretty fast, well other than Russian, which I spent a while on because Dad was helping me. After that the boys finished there homework while I read my book. Oh I forgot to mention that I finished “Eldest” on Wednesday and now I’m reading “Fablehaven: Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary”. I LOVE THE FABLE HAVEN BOOKS! I loved them before, but I love them even more now and I’m not even half way done with this book!!!! Daddy and Duncan went to get Pizza while I was reading, but after a little while I got up and went out side. I climbed the rock fountain since it’s not running because it’s too cold. Even though it’s like 60 degrees. Oh well. When I went inside Mom had me type up my Writing story for homework and now that Dad and Duncan are back I’m going to finish eating. I’ll write more later!!!!

Routines!!
Beam was first and guess what we had to do!?! Routine!! Yay. Not. Anyway I didn't stick my first routine, but I stuck the next one and since I was close to falling on my full turn I asked Ilia if I could work on them and he was fine with it so...I did. My series though those were good in my routine. They were sooooo straight!!! We went to Floor next and my routine was really really really good!! My front tuck front tucks were high and like normally my other two passes where good. Next was Bars. My routine felt really good today. I don't think I've done a routine that good in a while!! When we were almost done with Bars Ilia told us to do these thingys where you swing and then do a front tuck off the Bar as you're dismount. Well, the swinging for it was really hard and Ilia kept getting mad at us and I don't get why! I mean it's like he thought that we should be able to do it perfectly our first time! I never ended up flipping into the pit cause the weren't good enough. I really felt like slapping Ilia after that. We were done after that so I stretched and was DONE!!
When we got home I read my book for a little while and then went up stairs and watched the last three events of the Utah vs. BYU gymnastics meet. Utah did awesome!!! BYU didn't do the best, but they had a couple really good routines!!! I'm really tired now so I'm going to go to bed now.

Keeping him happy!!
So when we were starting conditioning Ilia told us that we had to keep really happy today because it was exactly 16 years since he was out of the army and 8 years since he came to the U.S. so I'm not really sure why we would have to try to make him happy about that, but we did anyway.
Hailee asked Ilia to time her on her ropes to see how fast she was going and she got 4.3. I guess that is slow for Hailee. Wow four seconds to climb that is madness! I took six point something which was fast for me!!! Anyway after that Hailee asked Ilia if we could race in conditioning and he didn't care so we did! At first the groups were going to be Hailee, Taylor, and Sadie on one team and Cody, Kendall, and me on the other, but then Ilia was like 'Oh wait! It needs to be Cody, Kendall, and Sadie! So that it can be orange head team!' (if you don't understand the orange head just ask.) So me and Sadie switched teams. My team kept on winning, but then our last couple of things were handstand stuff and my team wasn't so good at handstands well, Hailee was, but me and Tay not so much. Anyway after conditioning we went to Beam and Ilia told me to do back handspring aerials on the floor, but then when I started doing them he said that I needed to do them on to a soft mat and that we would do them later so just to do my leaps. I did leaps for the rest of Beam and then we went to Bars. On Bars we did parts of routines so I did some giants first then half pirouettes and free hips last. My free hips are getting a little better, but they're still pretty crappy. WE went to Floor next and I just did layouts and fulls on to the mat cause I was supposed to work on full and a halfs after fulls, but my fulls weren't good today so I never moved on. We did leaps after that and then Ilia told us to do full pirouettes, blind fulls, and these other blind/half pirouette things on the floor bar. I could only do a half pirouette and a blind half, but I could do the other thingys!!!
When Mommy picked me up from gym we went up to dance and Kalee said that instead of doing technique and pointe we were going to finish learning "Wild Things" and start learning "Storm". The first hour of class Kalee and Kymmerri caught me up with everyone else and then Kalee had us finish the dance so now we're ahead of the others! The second half of class we started "Storm" so we are also ahead in that because Kalee hadn't even started it yet so, yeah. I really like the "Wild Things" dance and I do like "Storm", but it's really hard, confusing, and really really fast!!! EEEK! Anyway I have to go to bed now so see ya!

The Weekend
I don't really feel like putting what I did on Friday at gym, but I'll put everything after that.
After Mommy took me home from gym on Friday she put my hair up and then Daddy came and picked me and the boys up and we went up to the Utah vs. Florida meet. It was Senior night at the U. It was Kristina Baskett and Nina Kim's last time competing in the Huntsman Center. They did AMAZING!!! I'm really going to miss watching those two at the meets. ~sigh~ After the meet we started the drive up to Logan and at about 9:45 I lay my seat back and tried to sleep. I didn't expect to fall asleep, but apparently I did and I fell asleep and woke up when the same song was on so I didn't even think I had and then I looked at the clock and it said that it was an hour later than I thought it was. Oh well. When we got to our hotel I got in my PJs and went to bed. Sleep felt so good.
When I woke up in the morning I looked at my watch and it said 7:57 which meant that my meet started in three minutes. I got dressed as fast as possible and Daddy drove me up to the meet. He dropped me off and then went back to get the boys and check out of the hotel. I ran inside and started open stretch with my friends. I was really tired. But I woke up before we had to do anything dangerous so that's good. Floor was our first event and I did a good routine, but I fell on my front tuck front tuck. That's OK though I don't really mind. My score was the same as San Jose, 8.2. I watched Sadie and then I had to run to the bathroom. Natasha's girls went first on Vault so me and Sadie sat down and rapped ourselves in Micaela's blanket cause it was cooooold! When it was finally our turn we warmed up pretty fast and then competed. I wanted to go first, but Ilia said that he wanted Sadie to because apparently my Vaults are better than hers. Whatever. Sadie stuck them which she has been having a hard time with and guess what!?! She got a 9.125!! Go Sadie!! I stuck both of mine as well and was given a 9.225! Bars was the same as usual. Pretty bad, but I'm working on it so don't worry soon I won't be getting these scores. I got a 7.75. On Beam I felt ready for my routine I had done a good warm up and I wasn't worried at all. I fell on my series because even though I was totally straight and everyone thought I was going to stick it my hand slipped and I could have saved it, but my ankle kind of gave out on me. Ah the full turn well lets see I'm not really sure what happened there, but I fell on that and I'm thinking that I didn't turn all of the way so ya. I got a 7.8. ~shrug~ We went to awards after we were all done and guess what I only got one medal, but it was a good one. 1st on Vault!! Oh ya baby!! We got 1st place in the team awards so that was also very exciting!!
I stayed and watched the Level 9s and then Mommy took me back to Daddy's house. Kendall did absolutely amazing! She got two 9s and her all around was a 35.05! Go Kendall!!! Taylor did just as good as she always does so YAY! Her all around was 35.2. Kendall got 4th on Beam!!! OK I guess that I'll stop talking about what my friends did and move on.
When I got to Daddy's house we sat around for a little while and then we all went to the store to get to some stuff for dinner and breakfast for in the morning. When we got back from the store Daddy made us some sandwiches and then we sat down and watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Oh I love that movie! After that I went to bed.

Well I don't even know what to say...
Like the title says: I don't know what to say, but I'll try to say something interesting, but I can't guarantee.
We went to Floor first, but all we did was dance routines. I'm not really sure why cause even though it's Thursday (so it's easy day) lately it hasn't been as easy cause it's still competition session. Anyway after we did Floor we went and did ballet for a half hour then went to Bars. I did a couple sets of giants then worked on my half pirouettes. They're getting better, but I still need to work on getting to handstand then turning and not touching my feet on the mat. After those I did free hips. As always they aren't very good, but I'm trying so I'm hoping that if I keep working at it that sometime soon I'll finally get it to handstand. We went to Beam next. We only had to do one routine and luckily I stuck my first one. So after I did my routine I worked on leaps. I did that for a while, but then Ilia told all of us to go and stretch.
Daddy picked me up and we went and got some food then went to Bana's house. She isn't doing so good. She doesn't feel good and her back is hurting her again. But I don't want to talk about sad things so lets move on! We stayed at her house for sometime, but then it was time to go. On the way home we stopped at the store and got some juice and some food for breakfast. And now that I'm home I think that I'm going to sit around with Daddy and be happy that for once I'm finished writing on my blog before 11:00 at night.

Really really fast!
OK I have to write this really really fast so I'm not going I'm not going into detail!
We went to Floor first and my routine was pretty good and I did go low on my front tuck front tuck!!! We then went to Bars and Ilia told me and Sadie that we had to do three routines and guess what!?! I stuck all three in a row!!! Next was Beam. Oh Beam. On one of my series my friends forgot to pull the spring board (that's for mounts) back. I fell back and my back bone went right into the edge of the spring board. It hurt really bad! I stuck the next two routines, but it still was hurting me. Ilia told me to go and do round off rebounds. I was going crooked on my cart wheels and I was kind of scared to go for my round off, but I knew I just had to go for it so I did and I kind of went crooked. I missed my feet and fell, I scraped my leg on the Beam and got a huge bruise. I'm telling you Beam burn hurts sooooooo much more than carpet burn! ~wimp~ I also hit my arm and my head on the Beam, but that didn't hurt it was just my leg. This is going to hurt when I go to sleep tonight! Boo hoo!

Clogging Boy!!!!!
So today was Duncan's first Clogging Competition and he did awesome!!!!
When we got there we sat down and waited a while then he went up and did freestyle. He was the only one in his age group for that so we knew he was going to get first and when he went over to the desk to get his pin he wasn't surprised that it was a first place pin, but later on when we found one of our friends that has been doing this for a while explained to us that the judges give them a score and if they are above a certain score they get 1st and same thing with the 2nd and 3rd so really he could have gotten 2nd place if he hadn't done so AMAZING!!! For the team dance they did really good! Duncan was a little off the music, but I guess that most kids in novice don't really do steps they just kind of do jumps and stuff, but Duncan's class is ahead cause they're doing steps some of them even look better then the kids in beginning!! Anyway his team got 1st place!!! So they are qualified for Nationals! So cool!!!
When we got back from the competition our cousins from Logan were just getting here so we said Hi to them, but then they were off to go to the Draper Temple. I didn't really do anything after that except for sit down and read and read and read some more. But when the cousins got out of the Temple they called us and we met them at 'Wendy's' cause Grandpa thought that it would be good for us to get out of the house since the furnace isn't working so its absolutely FREEZING!!! Brrrr. When we got home I sat down and read my book. And now I'm going to bed!!!

Got to write fast
OK really fast um yeah.
Gym was really boring we did routines on Beam and they were pretty good. I did two stuck then Ilia had me do round off back layouts with the pads. After a while of that we went to Bars. I did a couple of routines - I can't remember how many exactly - then it ended up that Ilia had sent us to Bars later than we were supposed to so we had to be done cause Natasha's girls were kicking us off. We went to vault next and since nobody had moved the mats that were piled up we just did round off stand up. It wasn't hard, but after a while it got really really really boring. Like its only been 20 minutes, but it feels like its been an hour kind of boring. But luckily after what felt like FOREVER Ilia told us to go stretch and it ended up that we were done a half hour early so I had plenty of time to get dressed for dance.
When I got to dance I discovered that my friend Lindsey had brought her friend from school so even though it was only one extra person so we only had four people it still felt like our class was soooo much bigger cause I'm so used to small classes. Five girls in the class at gym. Three at dance. Five in Young Womens. Seriously I have small classes, but I'm getting off track so lets see where was I...OH yes when I got to dance we did technique and it was pretty normal nothing too hard, but then we did pointe and that's when it started to get hard. There was some things that were really hard and some things I thought were going to be hard, but I did them really easy. So I guess that's good. When class was over Kalee kept me a little late so that she and Kymmerri could teach me the "Wild Things" dance for the recital. We're doing Alice in Wonderland for ballet. I'm "The Caterpillar!" And I'm also a "Card." Oh so much fun! For jazz we are doing Where the Wild Things Are and obviously I'm a "Wild Thing" and since there is so little people at our studio I'm also being in "Storm." Anyway we did that and I learned part of Wild Thing so I'll have to practice then we are learning more next week! Now its really really really really really really late so good night!!

New coach!
Poor Sadie had to come to Russian today and she came on the day that we were having a hard time remembering things and the day that the light decided to go out on us! At first it was kind of faint then it started doing this flashing thingy that made look like we were blinking every half a second! Then it just stopped working and then all of a sudden it decided to do the blinking thing again for about 30 seconds then it went out again! Part way through class Mommy came in and gave me and Sadie our lunch. Mmmmm, food.
Since Ilia has to go out of town this weekend for Cody's competition we had to get a sub and the girl who is going to sub us is going to stay as Ilia's assistant coach! Her name is Brynnlee (I don't know if that's how you spell it so I'm going to ask her tomorrow so if I all of a sudden I spell it differently that's why). She's really nice. She was a gymnast and she made it to Level 10, but then it became too much for her and she quite when she was 17. She is an AWESOME coach!!! I'm really excited to have her as our coach!
Ilia didn't have to leave until 5:30 so after conditioning he sent us to Floor and Brynnlee told us what to do cause even though Ilia was there he wanted us to get used to having her coach us. I had to do five layouts then five fulls. It wasn't too hard, I mean I do those everyday! After that I did full and a half's onto the mat and I was having a hard time sticking them, but Brynnlee gave me some hints and then I was sticking them pretty easy!! I then had to do doubles next and I don't think I ever made it all the way around, but I got pretty close!! After we were done with tumbling we did dance routines then worked on our leaps then did one more. We went to Bars next and Ilia helped Brynnlee set up the Bars then Traci took him to the airport. Brynnlee had us to five sets of kip casts then I had to do four sets of two giants. We only had a few minutes left on Bars after that so she had me do three giant, giant kip dismounts and guess what!?!...I didn't peel off the Bar at all on my dismounts!! I haven't done layouts that good in a while! WOO HOO! We then went to Beam and since it was easy day we did dance routines, but since we had to share the Beams with this other group we only used one Beam and so while we were waiting for our turns we sat and talked with Brynnlee and filled her in on how things go around our gym and stuff like that then after everyone had done a couple of routines she told us to try and make up some skills to maybe do next year. There were lots of different stuff, but the one skill that everyone else couldn't do I did pretty good! It's actually not that hard it just hurts my arms a little! The funny thing that happened was that Taylor tried a headstand (on the Beam) and she made it and it looked awesome! She then tried to find different ways to get down from it, it was really funny and cool at the same time! In all it was a really good day at gym.
When Daddy picked me up from gym we went to Bana's and had dinner and sat and watched some TV with her. When it was about 8:45 I lay down on her coach and I was like asleep, but not asleep at the same time cause I could here everything people were saying and I could wake my self up and talk, but I was like in that sleeping mode. When we left I fell asleep in the car. We got home at about 9:20 and I really didn't want to get out of the car I just wanted to sleep! But I reluctantly got out and went inside and changed really fast then got in bed and fell asleep immediately. Oh I love sleep. I think I got about 11 hours counting the time I slept at Bana's and in the car.

GYM SLEEPOVER!!!!!
Gym was really boring. We did conditioning for an hour. Then we went to beam. Since it was comp day we had to stick one routine and I stuck my first one!!! It was actually pretty easy, but then I had to go and do round off layouts. Not fun. After a little while Sadie came over and did them with me so that made it less boring, but it was still boring. After beam we went to bars and Ilia told me and Sad to do five sets of good giants then we had to do half pirouettes, but giants took forever so we only got to do a couple of half pirouettes. We then went to floor and had to do a routine. I fell on my first one so I had to do another one, but that time I stuck it! While Kendall and Taylor went to vault me and Sadie tried to do front fulls on the tramp, it didn't work out so well. When Taylor was done with vault she came over and told us to go to vault, but we only had ten minutes left so when we went over to the vault Ilia told us to stretch, Taylor and Kendall weren't very happy, at all.
After gym we went over to the cheer side we were gonna get some snacks, but right before we were going to pay Natasha came over and talked and talked and talked with Colleen for a long time then she finally left and we paid for our stuff and we had to run and get dressed cause we only had 20 minutes to get back to Sadie's house, get her clothes, get Pepper, and then go and pick Duncan up from dance in Centerville! Well we got Sadie's clothes and Pepper, but we were 10 minutes late picking Duncan up.
Now Sadie is being very unhappy so shes making me let her tell you what we did when we got home!
Sadie:
hello well me and drew had so much fun. we made up dances to a few songs and recorded it on the camera. we had stayed up till 12:05 than we tried to go to bed and we were talking till 12:30 and than we tried to fall asleep. duncan kept hitting the wall and it was so annoying. kujgjkgugtukghutuigyugjgyiutgercghfdhtg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK it's Drew again and I'm going to give my version of the story now. So when we got home Pepper was really nervous, but after a little while of running around the house and investigating she was getting better, she was still nervous, but not nearly as much as before. After we had dinner we went down into my room and by then it was 10:00 and we were going to go to bed, but then we started making videos of us being really silly. Then at 10:30 we put Pepper to bed and we were going to go to bed for real, well that didn't happen. We started making videos of us dancing to Taylor Swift songs! We did a dance to You Belong With Me and Love Story they were really dorky, but it was fun! After that we listened to some songs then got in bed and "tried" to go to fall asleep. Ya well like Sadie said it was just after 12:00 and then we were talking for a while so when we finally stopped talking it was like 12:30.
We woke up at 5:30 and got ready for gym and when we got there Ilia wasn't there yet so we waited for a little while and then when he got there we went inside and started stretching. After a little while Mommy took Pepper out to the car so that she could "rest". Then after that we had to do conditioning and then we did ten casts on bars. We did beam leaps next and it was kind of hard at 7:00 in the morning! Sadly after that Ilia told us to do round off layouts with the pads. Boo hoo! Well they weren't so bad I guess. Finally 7:45 came and we were done and got to go home! And now me and Sad are going to go and finish my homework!

After we had dinner we went down into my room and by then it was 10:00 and we were going to go to bed, but then we started making videos of us being really silly. Then at 10:30 we put Pepper to bed and we were going to go to bed for real, well that didn't happen. We started making videos of us dancing to Taylor Swift songs! We did a dance to You Belong With Me and Love Story they were really dorky, but it was fun! After that we listened to some songs then got in bed and "tried" to go to fall asleep. Ya well like Sadie said it was just after 12:00 and then we were talking for a while so when we finally stopped talking it was like 12:30.
We woke up at 5:30 and got ready for gym and when we got there Ilia wasn't there yet so we waited for a little while and then when he got there we went inside and started stretching. After a little while Mommy took Pepper out to the car so that she could "rest". Then after that we had to do conditioning and then we did ten casts on bars. We did beam leaps next and it was kind of hard at 7:00 in the morning! Sadly after that Ilia told us to do round off layouts with the pads. Boo hoo! Well they weren't so bad I guess. Finally 7:45 came and we were done and got to go home! And now me and Sad are going to go and finish my homework!

TEXAS!!!
I'm going to separate the Texas trip so that it makes more sense!!
Oh and if you don't have a lot of time you might want to read this later! Hehe.
Saturday
While we (meaning Khyla, Kim, Mommy, Lena, Colleen, and me) were waiting to board our flight to Denver me, Khy, and Kim played war and normally it doesn't take very long, but this game took almost 45 minutes!! It was crazy! After the game was finished it was time to get on the plane. I sat next to Khyla and Kim while the adults sat across from us. It was lots of fun to sit in the plane and play games and laugh with my friends. When we got to the airport we had a three hour overlay, but it ended up being a two hour overlay cause since it was snowing in Salt Lake we left there almost an hour late! Anyway we got lunch and then after we had all eaten me, Khy, and Kim played Apples to Apples. Here is a picture of Khyla and Kim while we were playing!
Isn't that soooo cute!!!
The plane ride was fun cause this time we had an extra hour to do things! We played a bunch of games and I read my book for a little while and when we had about a half hour left of the trip me and Khy started looking out the window and I took a bunch of pictures of the clouds so here they are!
We were going through a cloud when I took this so that's why it looks all foggy.
We're in Texas!!!...
And we're bored too!
When we got to the Rental car place and picked which car we wanted me and Mommy followed Lena as far as we could then we had to find our way to the hotel that we were staying at. When we got there we went and found Jackie and her mom Marianne who were rooming with us. They gave us a room key and we went up to our room and put our stuff in there so that we didn't have to haul it around anymore. We then went and said hi to Sadie and Taylor who were down the hall from us. There moms told us to go over to the mall and get something to eat over there so we did and it ended up that everything was closing at the mall so the only thing that we could eat was drinks from Sonic so we left and went and found this Pizza place that was still open and ordered a pizza and brought it over to the hotel. After we were done with our pizza we were really tired so we went to bed.
Sunday (a.k.a Competition day)
After I woke up and had a shower and got dressed me, Mommy, and Jackie went down to breakfast and ate. The food was really good and part way through Micaela and Paiger came down and Kendall and Kenzie came down a little while later. Taylor and Sadie came down when we were almost done, but I still got to say hi and stuff. And Polina was there too! It was good to see her again. It ended up that her mom (Katia) was just a couple of rooms down from us!
When we got back to the room mommy did my hair for the meet and then I still had a little while before we had to go down to my meet. I was looking out the window and saw this:
Seriously who would name a field 'Dr. Pepper field'?!?! That's just crazy!
I then realized that I had forgotten to bring a little bag to put all of my stuff in when I went down to the meet! And I didn't really want to just carry around all of my stuff so me and Mommy went down to the meet and tried to find a bag. We also looked at leos while we were there and ended up getting me two very cute leos! I got a bag that is just the right size and so I think I'm gonna use that for all of my competitions from now on cause the other bag is just waaaaaaaay to big.
Katia came in and said hi to us before the meet and she said that she really wanted to stay, but her flight was leaving soon so she had to go. But I was really happy that I got to see her!
The meet was really good. I got a 9.275 on Beam!! Can you believe that! 9.275! I was so excited! On Floor I got a 9.125! I think that the judges on Beam and Floor were scoring kind of high. I stuck my first Vault, but fell on my second one and got a 8.775. Ilia didn't seem too happy about my Vault, but I thought it was pretty good and it was a good score so whatever. My Bars on the other hand was not good my free hip was so low I don't think it even counted as a free hip! I got an 8.00. I was think that I would place on at least Beam maybe Floor too, but nope! It was really really hard to place cause the only one our team that placed was Hannah! See this is proof that you had to get really really really high scores cause Hope got a 9.6 on Floor and she didn't place! Ya I know. And one girl got a 10.00 on Bars and another got a 10.00 on Beam. Oh well. It was a good meet anyway!
Here's me and Kayla.
After the meet Mommy, Ilia, Ruth, Sadie, and I went over to the mall cause we were going to go skating, but it ended up that there was hockey game going on so we were gonna go to the Cheesecake Factory, but then we decided to go to a place called Dave and Buster's where the whole down stairs area is an arcade with a restaurant in it! So we ate there and Ruth and Mommy gave me and Sadie some money and we went and bought a power card for each of us and one for Ilia so that we could go and play some games!! It was lots of fun!!! Me and Sadie used up 48 chips on our cards pretty fast then we got one card that had 100 on it and then we ended up getting another 100 chip one too! Ilia's card had 60 on it, but he didn't want the tickets all he wanted was to play the games! So in the ended me and Sad got 2,284 tickets!! We couldn't decided what we wanted so Ruth came and helped us and she said for us to get matching tank tops so we were going to then we decided to get five teddy bears for each of the girls in our class, but then Sadie said she would rather have a matching shirt with me! So we got the shirts!
After we left Dave and Buster's we were going back to the car and the adults took us out the completely wrong door and we had to walk (or in me and Sadie's case run) around 3/4 of the mall!!! Me and Sadie were thinking that since they were going so slow and the car was so far away we could walk back to the hotel before they got there!!! But the adults wouldn't let us. So we just kept running around the mall (outside) to get to it and every corner we would be like this should be it...nope not this one maybe the next...nope and it just kept going like that for a while. Then finally we got to the car!
When we got back to the car me and Sadie went up to our rooms and we got into our swim suits and went down to the pool. When we got down to the pool Kendall and Kenzy were there so we playing with them and did a lot of chicken fights! It was looooooooooots of fun! My mom got some pictures, but she hasn't uploaded them yet so when she does I'll put them up! When we got back to the room this is what my hair looked like when I took it out!
Monday
Mommy woke me up at 6:30. It was not fun. I finished packing and got dressed then we went down to breakfast. Again the breakfast was really good, but this time there wasn't anyone there! But that was probably because it was 7:00 in the morning. Anyway after we had breakfast we went up to our room and got our things and went on our way. I think that I fell asleep for a little while in the car, but I'm not sure. Once we got to the airport we dropped off the rental car and went to security. And surprisingly we were the first ones there, out of our friends at least. When Khyla and Kim got there Mommy gave me some money and I went with Lena and Khyla and got a snack and when we were almost back I saw someone that looked familiar over by where we were boarding and when I ran over it ended up that I was right it was KENDALL! How cool is that! So Kendall, Micaela, and Kenzy were all on the same flight as us!
When we landed in Denver I only had just enough time to run to the bathroom before we boarded the plane to Salt Lake.
I read my book for most of the plane trip home!! And guess what I almost finished it!!
And now here are some pictures I took on the flight on the way home.
Mommy and I. Sorry It's kind of blurry the plain was getting closer to the ground and it was kind of bumpy.
ME!! Don't I look happy to be home!!
Texas was fun, but I'm very happy to be home.
And to end this trip here is a picture of me and the two girls that I don't know what I would do without them in my life, Sadie and Kendall.

Wheres this! Wheres that! Oh gosh I hate packing!
When I got home from dad's this morning I started trying to pack and of course I got slightly distracted! So long story my morning was spent doing packing a little then doing some homework and then trying to pack and maybe planning Valentines a little.
Then I had do go to gym and do conditioning and dance routines. I thought it was going to be boring, but Kim was there so I got to hang out with her and Beth was also there. Jenna (Beth's sister) was there choreographing Beth's Level 7 Floor routine! In the end Beth's routine looks adorable!! I love it!
When I got home I repeated the same thing as earlier, but this time I added dodging the boys playing "Lets pretend to kill each other with swimming noodles!" with there friends Elliot and Matthew. Plus I took a shower which got me away from the boys for a little while. But the later it got the more I had to pack cause when you have to wake up at 7:00 the next morning its best if you're at least mostly packed and now I'm almost all the way packed. The only things I don't have in my bags are things I need in the morning.
Well got to go to bed now! Bye! See ya in Texas!

Last day
Poor Mommy got sick earlier and she couldn't take me and the boys to all of our things so she called Bana and asked her if she could take me to Russian and gym. So I was late to Russian, but I still got there. Russian class wasn't too bad, but I've deciding that I'm going to work harder on Russian this week! And it might help that me, Khyla, and Kim are all on the same flight to and from WOGA so hopefully me and Khy can work on some Russian!
After we did conditioning we went to Floor first and I was kind of nervous for my front tuck front tuck cause for some reason I've been having a hard time with that, but it was OK today and I stuck it. After Floor we were supposed to go to Vault, but it wasn't our time yet and so we had 15 minutes to do something and so Ilia sent us to Beam. I didn't stick my first three routines, but then finally I stuck it and went to Vault. Vault was good I stuck it really fast and then I called Daddy and told him that I would be done early. I went for my first Bar routine and then Ilia had me and Sadie to half pirouettes. About 15 minutes later we were done and daddy took me to Bana's house.
When we got to Bana's Daddy gave Duncan his b-day present and then we had dinner and watched some TV. It was lots of fun just to sit and talk with everyone. When we got home Daddy gave me a little pink and white stuffed puppy that is holding a bone in its mouth that says 'Sweet' on it! I really like it! I named it 'Boo'. so now me and Boo are going to go to bed!

I'm tired and can't think of a title
We did Beam first and Ilia told me to do routines and to have my dismount be front tuck and that me and Sadie would do round off with pads afterward. Well, that didn't happen. I did three routine and after the first two every time he would just tell us more and when we had STUCK three it was too late to do dismount so we went to bars. I had been planing on doing my routine, but then he just told me to practice first half. So that was pretty easy. After that we went to floor and Ilia had me, Sadie, and Kendall tumble onto a mat and Taylor just had to do routine with easy tumbling (Why did she have to do so good on Sat and now gets to do easy stuff!) Ilia told me and Sadie to do three full and a halfs and three fulls. And he didn't want me to wear my rap, but it hurt so I really wanted to put it on, but I didn't cause I knew he would get mad and it was OK that I didn't cause after a little bit it didn't hurt too bad! Anyway after I was done with that we did leaps for about a half hour and then we were done.
I went over to the office and bought a candy bar for Duncan cause his birthday is Wednesday and I'm cheep and every year I get him a candy bar for his birthday. And while I was over there I got myself a candy bar and a little bag of chips cause it was only a dollar more so I spent a dollar 50 on two candy bars and some chips (and my candy and chips ended up being dinner).
When I got to ballet we did technique and it was a pretty good day I didn't have a hard time with too much of it. And after that Kalee showed me how to tie my ribbons on my pointe shoes and then we started doing stuff! It was lots of fun! There were somethings that I was kind of scared to try, but I did them and it worked out fine! At the end of class Kalee took some pictures of me in my pointe shoes so here they are!
I really like this picture I think it's really pretty! Thanks to Kalee for posing me!
I think this is my favorite.

Getting ready
Since we compete tomorrow Ilia had us do one stuck routine on every event.
WE started on beam and I was kind of nervous, but after I was warmed up I stuck my first routine!!! I was so happy! Sadly I was the only one that stuck my first one. Next was floor and Ilia told me that I had to do full for my first pass so I warmed it up and it didn't hurt to bad. I went for my routine and after I did my full Ilia said don't forget front tuck front tuck well, he hadn't told me that I had to do that until right then so I just went for it and I stuck it thought it wasn't very good. Anyway we went to vault after that and after I finally stuck two Ilia told me to go to bars and I was only too happy to do so cause my ankle was killing me! I made my bars routine easily and after that Ilia had me call daddy and tell him that we would be done a little bit earlier than we thought. Since nobody else was done and my free hips were crappy I worked on them. After a little while Ilia had us stretch and be done.
Since we got done early daddy took me to get dinner and after that we went to the Utah Gymnastics meet. We had a ticket that would get us in for free. It ended up that a girl and her mom that we know from a while back and we got to talk to them a little and I guess that she is competing tomorrow too!
The Utes did really good. It was the Supper Meet so there was four teams competing and the Utes got first SUU got second then BYU and Texas Womens came in last. My friend Megan goes to BYU and she received the most valuable performer for BYU! Isn't that awesome!!! She did really good!
So tomorrow is my meet and I'm pretty nervous, but I know everything will work out fine. And now I'm going to bed!

Routine day
So today was competition day and we went to beam first and Ilia told us that we had to stick one routine. Well, lets just say that I didn't stick it the first time or the second or the third...you catching my draft. I couldn't stick it! Then of course Ilia goes outside for like two minutes and I stick it! But I stuck it so I was done with routines even though I did have to do series. Oh well. Next was bars and I after I was warmed up I went for my routine and it was really good, but Ilia made me do another one anyway. I was pretty mad, but after that I was done with routines and only had to do first half. We then went to floor and I had to do routine with easy tumbling just like yesterday. But unlike yesterday I didn't cry. Though my first one did hurt and my front tuck didn't and my last pass I kind of landed with most of my weight on my good ankle. Ya I know that's bad, but I didn't mean to! Then Ilia had us do one dance routine. After that did Vault and Ilia made me and Sadie do it until we stuck it! Which in case you didn't know took a while and was very hard and painful cause I'm still recovering from a sprained ankle and Sadie only got her cast of her wrist last week! But then we were finally done!
We went over to the office and got a bag of chips for each of us and Mommy picked me up and we went and got Duncan from dance. And now I'm really tired so I'm going to bed.

Tired girl
OK, I'm really tired so I'm going to write really quickly and then go to bed.
Gym was...good. Taylor was there. After conditioning we did floor and then I did floor bar for a little while. it was then time for bars. I did the same thing as yesterday. At just after 6:00 Ilia called me over and told me to do a couple more half pirouettes and to then stretch. So I guess that mommy asked Ilia if she could pick me up early and he said yes, bu didn't tell me. Sadie wasn't very happy that I was leaving early, but she wasn't on bars with me for like a month so she can't say anything!!!
Mommy took me and the boys to Bana's and we had dinner and then after daddy was finished with Eclipse we went up to mommy's house and got Breaking Dawn for him and Hunter's coat cause he is a dork and forgot it at mommy's. How he did this I don't know cause seriously how can you forget your coat in below freezing temperatures!
Well I'm going to bed now cause I'm really tired so night!

Crazy day
I called the Tyler's on the way to gym cause they had been wondering if I could babysit. No one answered the first time I called, but when I called again a couple minutes later they did pick up and they said that I could come over at one.
Same boring day at gym. Conditioning. Bars. Floor bar. And more floor bar. But at least this time I had Kendall with me on floor bar. Then I was on my way to the
Tyler's. I was really excited, there kids are so cute!
When I got there the adventure started. Zach had been put to sleep so that worked and me, Ethan, and Brooklyn went and watched a movie. When I went up to see if Zach was awake I found he was and he had slept on top of his bottle and gotten Ethan's bed all wet. But when I tried to get him changed he wouldn't let me. He would run away or cry his eyes out if I tried to keep him down. After about a half hour I gave up and helped the others get a snack. While I was making Ethan's he cut himself on end of the plastic rap that is supposed to cut the plastic rap not fingers. I got him fixed up and then kept on trying with Zach I finally got all his clothes off, but then I couldn't get him to let me change his diaper. After a while I held him down and had Brookie talk to him so he would cooperate and it worked cause after I got his diaper changed and got him dressed he was the happiest little kid! At one point when they were playing in this little tent Zach fell onto Brooklyn cause he was tired and when we got him off of her she had a cut by her eye brow. So now Brookie has a band aid on her eye brow. When Liz and Jared got back Liz took me home and daddy came and picked me up.
Daddy took me and the boys to see Twilight. For the third time I thought that it was really good even if the more times I see it the more I like some parts and dislike others. But it was a family thing so it was fun. And now I'm really tired and I think I'm going to go to bed.
